AIDS Impacts

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a disease that has killed many people around the world. It is caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) which is commonly spread by sexual activity and consuming drugs in wrong ways. Therefore, the victims of AIDS are usually ignored by communities. There are at least two dangers of HIV/ AIDS as I will illustrate below.

The first danger of HIV/ AIDS is HIV appearance is difficult to be identified in human body, therefore; the victims cannot realize if they have been already attacked by HIV. Then, in the following two years, they will be in AIDS disease. AIDS breaks the victims’ immune system, which is why they are easy to get ill. When they get illness, the illness will be difficult to be recovered. For example; if they do not have a good protection in bad weather and then they get cold, they will need some months to be recovered, while cold can be normally recovered in some weeks.

The second danger of HIV is in social life of the victims. The spreading of HIV is commonly caused by sexual activity and consuming drugs in wrong ways. Exchanging sex couples and using injection for consuming drugs without sterilization are the main factors how HIV spreads. Therefore; the victims of HIV/ AIDS are usually ignored by communities. People think that the victims of HIV/ AIDS are cursed by the things that they have done. In other case, people will not want to have a contact with the victims, for they are afraid that the virus will spread to them. These things, of course, will bother the physical condition of HIV/ AIDS victims.

The danger of HIV/ AIDS is not only about how its virus attacks our body and how AIDS disease breaks human immunity, but also about how HIV/ AIDS attack our social life. When we have already known about HIV/ AIDS, hopefully we can prevent ourselves from HIV/ AIDS and we can understand how to behave to HIV/ AIDS victims.
